i write a simple C++ program to save an image

cv::imwrite(filename,visual_img);

when i run it directly from Eclipse, the image is saved in the current directory (the directory where the Eclipse project file is in). but when i run it with roslaunch

<node pkg="testProg" type="testProg" name="testProg" />

the image is saved in home/.ros

so what should i do to save it to the current directory?

p.s. i encounter the same problem when i try to load the image. always fail to load if i put the image in the current directory when i run it by roslaunch.

See the attributes section on the roslaunch wiki page.

Using the "cwd" attribute, you can specify that the node should be started using the executable's directory as its working-directory. The default behavior is to use $ROS_HOME directory.

For example:

<launch>
  <node name="test" pkg="my_package" type="my_node" cwd="node" />
</launch>

However, it is generally better to use $ROS_HOME subdirectories for files you want to write.

This is what I do to run the nodes in the current directory:

ROS_HOME=`pwd` roslaunch foo.launch
